Former foreign minister Mohamed Bazoum, 61, has won Niger’s presidential run-off election with 55.75% of the vote, the Electoral Commission, CENI announced on Tuesday.

He was the frontrunner in the first round balloting on December 27 with 40% of vote among 30 candidates. In Sunday’s run-off overshadowed by militant attacks that killed seven electoral officials in southeastern Tillaberi region, Bazoum of Arab descent, defeated former President Magamane Ousamane 71, who got 44.25% of the vote.

The final official result will be certified in a few days’ by the Constititional Court.

On Monday as Nigeriens awaited the results of Sunday’s vote a polling official was also killed by a roadside bomb that left nine others injured in the southeastern Diffa region.

Bazoum will inherit from outgoing President Mamadou Issouffou, leadership of a politically restive country, which though rich in uranium, is the world’s poorest country according to the UN Human development ranking.
